Little Dragon Waving from a Volcano Crater

Coloring guide
Sitting inside the crater of a small volcano, a smiling baby dragon waves one hand, with big round eyes and a happy open mouth. It has two curved horns, small spikes running down its head and back, and a belly with curved stripes, and two bat-style wings spread out behind it. Thick, drippy lava runs over the rim and down the sides, with a few rocks and pebbles at the base. Big swirly curls of smoke rise on both sides of the dragon. Large shapes and bold lines make this free printable a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright orange and red suit the dripping lava, green works for the scales, and soft yellow on the belly stripes will help the dragon stand out against the volcano. This fits right in with our Volcano coloring pages — see also City and Solar System & Space.
